Entrance Slip
On a piece of paper jot down one way you have already used or are planning to use information from the April 25 session. Share this with a neighbour. Then report your neighbour's idea to the whole group.

After choosing the ten most historically significant events from the large group students could rank them from 1-10 or put them on a timeline. They could then select the most historically significant event of them all and write a persuasive paragraph (short essay) presenting the argument for their choice. Then the paragraph (short essay) would be marked according to a rubric that is included with the assignment.
